Properties of gene partitions used in phylogenetic analysis.

Number of Basepairs Variable Site % Gap % Relative Mean Rate of Substitution*
COII 742 19.27 0 1.033E-4
Histone 327 5.49 0 1.381E-5
18S 2,052 3.21 0.11 3.216E-6
28S 2,420 5.37 1.89 3.333E-6

*Relative substitution rates are based on a fixed mean rate of evolution across lineages (1/time × 10-4).
